Vanessa de Oliveira knows how to generate attention.

Editor's note: The video below includes partial nudity

There's nothing like taking your clothes off in public to get the attention of the media.

And that's exactly what former Brazilian sex worker Vanessa de Oliveira did in front of the government palace in Lima, Peru last week to protest eBook pirates stealing her work.

She has written five books. The words sprayed across her body, No La Pirateria, can be translated into "No to Piracy".


Vanessa de Oliveira fights piracy with as few clothes as possible.

Oliveira claimed that there's no piracy in Brazil, but alleged that this type of theft thrives in Peru because of a lack of government action.
